The sun is shining outside my window right now and I have to admit that the sun gives me hope for the coming spring, the best of seasons, if you ask me:)

I have used the "Fly-By Friends" stamp set and the coordinating dies from My Favourite Things to create this spring inspired card.

I colored all the images and the background with Distress inks, added StarDust/Diamond Stickles and Glossy Accents to some parts and details. The grass was cut with a Lawn Fawn die, and all parts was adhered with foam tape for dimension.

Hello there crafters!

I didn´t have time to show you this card on the blog here before Valentine's Day, therefore, I show it for you now instead.

For this card I used two embossing folders, to the background, one of the We R memory keepers "Gemstone" folders. I hope you see the texture on the lower photo. The heart is made with one of the folders from "Sizzix Scallop Heart Doily Set" that I first dyed in with Momento Love Letter ink before I run it thru my embossing machine. I then cut the heart out by hand and adhered it with foam tape. The Whimsy Stamps "Film Strip" sentiment was framed with a little doodling and added with heart brads. I finished of by tying a ribbon around the card.

Hello there friends!I hope you all had a happy Valentine´s Day!I´m back after a short break and I´ve created a birthday card to a man's 55 birthday.

I started by cutting the ballon out, that is not really a balloon but a Dixi Craft Christmas decoration die, out of a piece of white paper. Next, I used one old paper with hats from Fancypantsdesigns "Swagger" paper pad and cut the numbers out of it with Mama Elephants dies. I sponged the edges with Distress ink and added a couple of cut out letters under the hats. I backed the balloon with black cardstock and adhered the balloon and the frame with foam tape for dimension. Then I stamped the Gummiapan sentiment in "Coffee" Archival ink and finished of by adding the black twine under the balloon.Thanks so much for stopping by today!Hugs, BirgitEntered challenges:Stampin Royalty - DiesSimon Monday - Use Your Favourite Tool (my die-cutting machine)Crafting From The Heart - Anything GoesAddicted to Stamps and More - Clean and SimpleThrough The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Today I want to share a very clean and simple card created for Less is More, which by the way are celebrating birthday number 6, with a color wheele challenge.

I used the colors purple, pink, and red from the wheel. The background is made with Spun Sugar Distress ink and the "On the Diagonal" stencil from My Favourite Things.

I cut out the hearts with Penny Black´s "Soft Caress" die, then added red inks and Glossy Accents. The small stamped sentiment in black is from the MFT "Fly-By Friends" stamp set, and the big one in purple and pink is from an old Autumn Leaves stamp set "Love With A Fluorish". I couldn´t resist adding some Glosy Accents there too.

Just popping in to share a card I´ve created for Muse:Christmas Visions and I´m also linking up with some other challenges.

I used the Festive stencil from Tim Holtz and sponged it with Distress inks. I LOVE those berries, so to give them extra dimension and shine, I added Glossy Accents.

Since there was a lot of gold (looks like embossing) on Chriss card, I wanted to use that too and I think it became nice on the pine cones. For the sentiment I used a Rox Stamps die, and I finished of with a few gold sequins.

Hello friends, and Happy Friday!

I hope the weather is with you where you live, I can tell you, here with me it's gray skies and pretty depressing outside the windows.

Today I have a Birthday card to share. I don´t know how it´s with you, but I always need some prepared, suddenly, I need one or two. I started by stamping the "Fire Out Set" from Art Impressions and color it up with my Copics. Next I cut the lady out by hand and adhered her with foam tape on old designer papers from my stash. I used Tim Holtz "Celebrate" die set for the Birthday sentiment and finished of with a few enamel dots.
